[Eb]
[Ab] [Eb] [Fm]
[Eb] [Ab] [Eb] There was a man I used to pass on my way into [Ab] town.
He was covered in dirt like the world had beat him down.
[Eb] I often wondered how he ended up like that.
[Ab] So one day driving home, I pulled over to ask.
[F]
I said, man, [Eb] where did it all [Ab] go wrong?
[F] He said, son, [Eb] do you really want to [Ab] know?
[Eb] My daddy [F] left for another [Eb] woman, moved [Ab] off to LA.
[Eb] My [F] mama fought hard against that [Eb] cancer.
She [Ab] died when I [Eb] was eight.
I [F] finished school.
My country [Eb] shipped me off to war.
When I came home, [F] my whole [Eb] world didn't love me [Ab] anymore.
[Fm] It's hard to see [Eb] all that when you're [Ab] driving by.
[Fm] So I just write [Eb] down Jesus saves,
because [Ab] there ain't no way I could fit that on [Eb] a [F] sign.
[Eb] I [Ab] can't fit that on [Eb] a sign.
[Fm] [Eb]
[Ab] [Eb] I took him to a diner.
I bought him a cup of coffee.
[Ab] He asked me if he could bum a couple dollars off me.
[Fm] He told me [Eb] his story.
I [Ab] told mine.
[Fm] He said thanks, because [Eb] most folks around here
would never take the time.
He said, I lost my [Fm] job down [Eb] at the mill
when [Ab] that factory [Eb] closed.
Army [C] stopped sending me [Eb] them checks.
The bank took everything.
I hitchhiked [Fm] my way up [Eb] to Chicago.
[Ab] The nights were too [Eb] damn cold.
I hopped a train, headed west, because I
[Ab] had nowhere [Fm] else to go.
It's hard [Eb] to see all that driving [Ab] by.
[Fm] So I just write [Eb] down Jesus saves,
because [Ab] there ain't no way I could fit that [Eb] on a sign.
[Fm]
[Eb] There ain't no way [Ab] to fit that [Eb] on a sign.
[Fm] [Gm] [Ab]
[Fm] I probably would [Eb] have wrote down a little [Ab] more
[Fm] if I could have [Eb] found a bigger piece of cardboard.
My brother [Fm] Walter was [G] my hero, [Ab] but he was bad to drink.
[Eb] One [F] night he laid his Harley [C] [Eb] down
near that [Eb] Ohio river bank.
Me and [Fm] my ex-wife tried [Eb] for kids, and we [Ab] were dating.
[Eb] Yeah, we even [F] had baby names picked [Eb] out,
but little [F] Walter didn't make it.
It's hard [Eb] to see all that driving [F] by.
So I just write [Eb] down Jesus saves,
[Ab] because there ain't no way I could fit that [Eb] on a sign.
